Corporate and Social Responsibility

Throughout our years of operation we have strived to engage in a positive way with local communities and ensure our employees are fully informed and involved in our ongoing CSR activities.

Protecting the environment

Climate change is a global problem which all organisations must address in order to reduce the rate of global warming. At Brett Martin we have a number of key objectives which we are working towards in order to minimise the impact that our production process and finished products have on the environment.

We have carried out a number of environmental impact assessments on our business and have invested in energy efficient machinery resulting in reduced carbon emissions. We are also installing wind energy technology at our headquarters in Mallusk.

Currently we recycle over 75 per cent of waste polycarbonate and all our products contain an element of recycled material, greatly increasing our green credentials.

We have developed products which help reduce carbon emissions from the built environment. Our various roofing products meet and exceed all building regulations with regard to energy efficiency and we provide advice and support with regard to energy efficiency and complying with building regulations to all clients.

Working within the community

At Brett Martin the communities in which we operate are central to our CSR policy. Many of our employees are recruited from these communities and we want to develop strong relationships by communicating and interacting with them.

Our business processes are regularly reviewed to ensure they are responsible and do not impact negatively on the local community but help maintain positive relationships with suppliers, employees, partners and customers.

For many years, we have been involved with a range of charitable organisations and have donated products for a number of projects including affordable housing.

We also recognise the importance of education and therefore host regular class visits for local school children and work experience opportunities for students and graduates, to gain valuable experience of the manufacturing industry.

Our People

With over 800 employees throughout our operations we have a wide programme of employee engagement. Staff are encouraged to get involved in our charity initiatives and all employees take part in a structured training programme to advance their professional development.

Employee engagement at Brett Martin also includes:

Communicating openly and honestly with employees

Excellent working conditions

Fair and respectful treatment of employees at all times

We strive to ensure employees have a safe and comfortable working environment that meets all health and safety legislation and our equal opportunities policy seeks to ensure a fair work environment for all staff.

Through our employee newsletter, company notice boards and regular staff meetings, employees are kept updated on company news. Our dedication to employee engagement means we have a workforce that is highly committed to producing quality products and delivering first class customer service to all clients.

Stakeholders

At Brett Martin we take pride in our ability to build and maintain excellent relationships with all stakeholders. With outstanding customer service and products, we have developed a reputation for quality, which has enabled us to retain many loyal customers.

We also ensure all our suppliers, contractors and partners are ethical businesses, which carry out their processes in a responsible way by continually challenging them to meet our exacting business standards.

As a socially responsible organization, we have in place practices which ensure all our suppliers, contractors, customers and partners are dealt within a fair and respectful way.
